I was excited to find this group, but the last post was two years ago. Yikes! Anyways, hi. New to astrobin and I made a post. More to come.
Anyone here?
Welcome! From my experience, the forums on astrobin aren't very active.
Well Written Respectful
Edith, I was out in the badlands a couple of nights ago and I took this one. Ii's not all that good, and has some obvious flaws ... but still, strangely compelling.
I'm pretty new here myself, and I've got a lot to learn. But I do think I picked up on some "lessons learned" from this pic and hope to do better if I can get out again before the cold weather sets in!

Hi Don,
I like it! I would never say a photo is not good, it is what you captured and you gotta love it. yes, every photo is a lesson learn. How else would we get better?
Thanks, Edith!
So, looks like there will be a clear night again in a couple of days, so I'll give it another try. And take the camera off autofocus (dammit!), aim at the metafocal, see if I can put the galactic center a little closer to the middle of the pic. Also, put the light-painting lantern a bit lower on the butte. Wish me luck!
(Glad you posted here, BTW. My main interest is nightscapes/landscape-astro, so I would like to see this forum become more active.)

Hi All
This is one of my favorite types of shots. I enjoy shooting with the telescope but standing out with the sky and just the camera and tripod is addictive. Welcome to Astrobin, please share your work. This is a shot from a recent observing week in Coonabarabran. the scope is my 25" Obsession.

That’s so good! I’m in the northern hemisphere so looking how it appears in the souther hemisphere it’s mind blowing! 😬 one day I’ll take a trip down under and photograph it! And yes, to me being outside by myself with the stars is the best therapy!

speaking on deserts, this was a fun night in souther Arizona. I tracked the sky (something I’m always too lazy to do
and blended with this old abandoned train station.Edith, Andrew: Those are wonderful images, thank you for sharing them. They inspire me to do better.
If the weather forecast is right, looks like Tuesday will be a clear night.
